Stephen Kelly 370bf55415 Add the ALIAS target concept for libraries and executables.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
  of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
  and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
  target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
  is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.

Stephen Kelly 574fec97fd Export: Generate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property on targets.
This property is generated only for targets which have recorded
policy CMP0022 as NEW, and a compatibility mode is added to
additionally export the old interfaces in that case too.

If the old interfaces are not exported, the generated export files
require CMake 2.8.12. Because the unit tests use a version which
is not yet called 2.8.12, temporarily require a lower version.

Brad King b87d7a60a0 Add OBJECT_LIBRARY target type
This library type can compile sources to object files but does not link
or archive them.  It will be useful to reference from executable and
normal library targets for direct inclusion of object files in them.

Diagnose and reject the following as errors:

* An OBJECT library may not be referenced in target_link_libraries.

* An OBJECT library may contain only compiling sources and supporting
  headers and custom commands.  Other source types that are not normally
  ignored are not allowed.

* An OBJECT library may not have PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD
  commands.

* An OBJECT library may not be installed, exported, or imported.

Some of these cases may be supported in the future but are not for now.

Teach the VS generator that OBJECT_LIBRARY targets are "linkable" just
like STATIC_LIBRARY targets for the LinkLibraryDependencies behavior.

Brad King b06fb16684 No CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES in single-config generators (#10202)
Factor out reading of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
into cmMakefile::GetConfigurations.  Read the former only in
multi-config generators.

Brad King 96afb12087 Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD License
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License.  We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked.  We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.

Brad King 6c59b924d2 Use BeAPI for per-user package registry on Haiku
Applications on Haiku are discouraged from storing their data in $HOME.
This teaches export(PACKAGE) and find_package() to use the BeAPI on
Haiku to store the package registry instead of using ~/.cmake/packages.

See issue #9603.

Brad King 16ce84b067 Teach export(PACKAGE) to fill the package registry
We define the export(PACKAGE) command mode to store the location of the
build tree in the user package registry.  This will help find_package
locate the package in the build tree.  It simplies user workflow for
manually building a series of dependent projects.

Brad King 9e64d5b272 ENH: Improve exporting/importing of targets
- Use real name instead of link for location of versioned targets
  - Error when a target is exported multiple times

Brad King 7902bc06aa ENH: Implemented link-interface specification feature.
- Shared libs and executables with exports may now have
    explicit transitive link dependencies specified
  - Created LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES and related properties
  - Exported targets get the interface libraries as their
    IMPORTED_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
  - The export() and install(EXPORT) commands now give
    an error when a linked target is not included since
    the user can change the interface libraries instead
    of adding the target.

Brad King 5594ad4885 ENH: Updated exporting and importing of targets to support libraries and configurations.
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
  - Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
  - Include soname of shared libraries in import information
  - Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
  - Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
  - Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
  - Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
  - Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
  - Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
  - Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
  - Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
  - Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
  - Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
